Hi, as far as I know, one should use xhtml to make an epub book. Can I use html to make an epub? Thanks for your help.

It is not exactly true. It must be XHTML. However, Sigil will convert it to XHTML to certain extent. There are some differences which must be kept in mind. One of the major one is the usage of name in anchors and so. It should be changed to id. That specific difference can cost quite some headache if you don't know.
Also, use the validation button in Sigil. It will help you. |

The .html extension does not cause the ePub to fail validation AFAIK. Cheers |

It is so similar that you can get hooked when you run a validating program. Tags, for instance, must be self closing.
